BETA PATCH v.1.08.18956 - Bug thread

[von Brühl]

Performance is much improved, no stuttering down low, until over one of the bigger cities, clouds are about double the FPS as previous, so good job there.

Still have CTD, not in-game, but in the FMB, while trying to paste a full Panzer division (encamped) I had saved from previous maps. Also, while doing a scissors with a Spitfire, we collided. My 109 hit the end 1/2 of his wing, blew up, and he lost only an aileron.

Massive frame rate drop for everyone in my crew as soon as a few Hun turned up in the campaign (this is multiplayer online btw). There was no problem with 11 of us in the formation, but a few Hun made most of us drop from 40+ to 3fps. Don't know if the same happened to the Hun, I gather not since they set about shooting us all down inside 3 minutes. This game is garbage.

I wonder if it's something specific to their mission, I've flown 12 (109s) vs 36 (18 Spit/Hurris + 6 wellies 12 blennies) with no appreciable drop, single player self created mission with no triggers/radar etc.

No its not! Its a known problem for a while now! But still not fixed! A lot of people have it! It makes the game unplayable! You fly in formation and got 60 fps and then booom only 1-5 fps!

was already explained on page 8 in this thread

In SP i can turn up most of my Settings and fly a comparable Sortie without no Problems at all. MP however would be next to impossible to fly at those settings, independent on side chosen. I suspect the problem lies in the way the server is setup. Remember, it is not a dedicated server, but more comparable to a listen server. Who knows ( Serveradmins step forward pls and enlighten me ) what unnecessary files the server has to load, which in return has an impact on performance.

I was flying in the back of a Tiger Moth and lines appears in front of me that where not supposed to be there coming from the exterior going to the interior but see this picture;

Don't think so- I've been doing alot of testing with offline missions, and the number of twin engined planes seems to be a big factor, particularly from 1.06 onwards. In 1.05 it was possible to have formations of around 50 bombers and approach without too much of an fps drop, since 1.06 I've had to revise that number to around 20- add in proximity of enemy EA and fps hits the floor,
Tried empty loadouts on bombers, changing AI visibility/awareness settings, very low visual settings and this behaviour still remains. I can run missions with 160 109's/spits without getting the same fps loss.

That's my experience anyway

I mean this makes just totally sense that the little plane icon illustrates your planes ACTUAL heading.... and NOT your desired heading. The desired heading is illustrated by the 12:00 position because this is the heading you want your plane icon (which is basically your plane) moving in to
FACT is atm in CloD: As soon as you press "course setter increase/decrease" you rotate the little plane-indicator as well as the whole outside ring which turns as well in the same direction. EVERY other german plane works right now totally fine in this aspect except for the He-111P.

I am in game right now with the He-111H and if I turn my aircraft, the little plane shows my actual heading whereas the outside ring stays at North 12:00. If I press "course setter increase" the outside ring rotates to the right together with the little plane with my actual heading. This works the exact way in the Ju-87, Ju-88 and Bf-110. When this little plane points to W, i fly West, to E, i fly East and everything inbetween. Once again the outside ring stands perfectly still

The He-111P on the other hand is exactly reversed regarding this plane indicator. I fly East, the plane indicator points to W, i fly West, the plane indicator points to East, i fly Northwest (315°), the little plane points to 45°NE. The mouse overlay on the other hand shows the right heading all the time (look at my screenshot i posted before: the mouse overlay says 321° which were right, but the little plane icon points to NE)

I can confirm the reversed behaviour of the repeater compass in the 111P. The rest, well, it's the first i've heard of it
I always use the plane icon as a heading selector and the 12:00 position as my current heading when navigating manually, when climbing on course autopilot, when on the bomb run with R22 autopilot, etc.

The repeater compass has no effect on the AP, but since the gyro tends to drift and need frequent adjustment i just read my headings and waypoint bearings off of the repeater compass with the method i described above, then command the AP to turn until the repeater compass shows i'm pointing at my selected heading.

hi its me again,

iinstalled a new version on a120 gb ssd with the actual betapatch and it stutters as always and it minimizes itself to the taskbar after the loading screen disappears.. same system as before + 2 120gb ssds+ 7970 16gb 1600 fx 8150 +g940 win 7 x64 pro


so long weasel230

III/JG53_Don is correct

Actual German Patin compass operation is as follows:

Aircraft symbol should always indicate aircraft heading read from the nose of the aircraft symbol against the verge ring .... regardless of the verge rings orientation.

It was designed to allow a quick heading reading and an easy method to preselect a desired heading. To fly a Desired heading the pilot rotates the verge ring to the 12'Oclock position (The aircraft symbol will also rotate during this operation as its nose will still be indicating the current heading against its value on the moving verge ring). Once the Desired heading is set by placing its verge ring value at the 12 O'clock position the pilot simply turns to put the aircraft symbol on the nose ... therefore on the Desired heading. So if the desired heading is set a quick glance to see the aircraft symbol is up is all that is required to confirm the correct heading is being flown ... no real need to read exact numerical values.

This is how it works on all types except the HE IIIP2. The HEIIIP2 is bugged all other types show correct operation in CLOD

Also See the operation in IL2 1946 Ver 4.11 this is correct as well.
